There are times when a woman

has to say what's on her mind

Even though she knows

how much it's gonna hurt

Before I say another word,

let me tell you "I love you"

Let me hold you close, and say

these words as gently as I can

"There's been another man that

I've needed and I've loved,

But that doesn't mean I love you less,

And he knows he can't possess

me, and he knows he never will,

There's just this empty place

inside of me that only he can fill"

(chorus)

Torn between two lovers,

feeling like a fool

Loving both of you is

breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers,

feeling like a fool

Loving you both is

breaking all the rules

You mustn't think you failed me

just because there's someone else

You were the first real love I ever had,

And all the things I ever said

I swear they still are true

For no one else can have the

part of me I gave to you

Torn between two lovers,

feeling like a fool

Loving both of you is

breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers,

feeling like a fool

Loving you both is

breaking all the rules

Couldn't really blame you if

you turned and walked away

But with everything I feel

inside, I'm asking you to stay

Torn between two lovers,

feeling like a fool

Loving both of you is

breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers,

feeling like a fool

Loving you both is

breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers,

feeling like a fool

Loving both of you is

breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers,

feeling like a fool

Loving you both is

breaking all the rules
